相信神 然後感謝祂 :)
你現在正在做的事情 你已經擁有的技能與身分 很可能是另一個人努力追求都得不到的 不要等到有一天到天國了 你才知道人們其實羨慕你 才知道自己所擁有的是多麼豐盛 現在就感恩 向神獻上真誠的感謝 停止比較與嫉妒 要知道你已經擁有所需要的一切了 神已經把一切你需要的事物與財富給你了 神不打算給你的你再怎麼努力也得不到 但神命定要給你的 就算魔鬼傾全世界來跟你搶也無法奪走 神已經給你足以使你滿足喜樂的一切條件了
相信神 然後感謝祂 :)

Went to a friend's wedding today and there is a deep feeling comes to me.
Is not how much u need to spend or how grand on ur wedding day. But the heart and love for your spouse. Because it is priceless.Everyone wants a great wedding dinner, wedding dress... or what ever great wedding plan. All are romantic and really melts people's heart. But... After that ....
Both of you are going to start a new level of life. And are u prepared?? Are you willing to move into the next level with him?? Everything is gonna change after the wedding. What is your future plan?? Now everything for u is ok, i can, i'm willing too.. But after the wedding, it is true?? Are u still in your promises with your spouse. What is important is ur life now?? Ur spouse? Career? Money? Kids? Interest? Emotion? .... etc....
Love- is a thing that everyone needs to learn. Cause it is priceless. Learn to change ourselves before we change others. Love is patient, Love is kind. It endures forever. Learn to love yourself, your family and others including ur enemies.. Then u will knw to love your spouse.

You said Nothing is Impossible. So make it possible for me. It have been years... Do You understand the pain. I don want just the smell than fly off.. I want !! I want !! and I want !! You can give it to others why not me. Why others can get it so easily they want and not me. Is my prayer not strong enough? I admit, i didn't really put effort praying on this. But please don take it away. Please dont. I have been waiting years.
You teach me that ~
我永不憑眼見而活 我永不被感覺而改變 在我心 深知你會同在 有了你 絕沒有難成事 有你 我能完成一切 我能做一切 因你賜我力量 萬事都有可能 有你 瞎眼能看見 生命能改變 我能憑信而活 萬事都有可能.

I trust in You !!
Lift up Your Eyes
Do you not say, “There are still four months and then comes the harvest”? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest!
John 4:35
While Jesus was speaking to the woman at the well in Sychar, the disciples went to get some food. When they returned, they were, as usual, surprised. Jesus had broken all the social and religious rules by speaking to a Samaritan woman, and a loose one at that. The disciples had responded to their hunger pangs while Jesus had responded to the Spirit and remained at the well. His food was to do the will of the Father.
Jesus asks the disciples to lift their eyes and look at the harvest fields. “You say there are four more months until harvest time, but I say the harvest is ripe now.” What is Jesus really saying? He is saying that if we seek His kingdom firs and are led by the Spirit, there will always be possibilities, harvests and breakthroughs around us. But if we allow circumstances and carnal needs to lead us, we will miss what God has planned for us.
The disciples focused on their needs and, thereby, focused on their problems. This is why they saw the harvest four months off, just as it was in the natural. But Jesus moves in the supernatural realm where it is always harvest time. In the world of the Spirit, there is no lack, no unsatisfied needs. Therefore, we must open our spiritual eyes. Then we will see what no one else can see.
We live among negative, pessimistic, problem-focused people who identify with all the needs and lack around them. Jesus reacted differently. He saw what the Father showed Him and this was a greater reality than what He saw with His physical eyes. Jesus wanted His disciples to see with their spiritual eyes. And He desires the same for you.
Prayer
I thank You, God, for opening my spiritual eyes so I can see all the possibilities around me. Help me to seize these opportunities. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

P . U . S. H
P.U.S.H. = Pray Until Something Happens
The way to get real-life results in prayer is to seek God with an attitude that says, “No matter how long it takes, or whatever I have to do, I will not be denied”. This is not arrogance, it’s Godly hunger. It is not about pushing God, but about pushing yourself into God. This is not praying for the sake of praying. This is praying to see the hand of God move. This is desperate hungry praying. This is the type of prayer that gets answers.
Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to pray and not lose heart, (Luke 18:1 NKJV)

Making Music — by Julie Ackerman Link
On a lovely summer evening, a capacity crowd gathered in a beautiful outdoor venue for a concert by one of my college friends. It happened to be his birthday, so the emcee hinted that we might want to sing “Happy Birthday” to him. One by one, people started singing, each in a different key, each at a different tempo. As the jumble of notes and words joined together, the result was, well, less than harmonic. It wasn’t even melodious. It was in fact downright pitiful. When my friend took the stage, he gave us another chance. He didn’t give us the pitch, but he did give us a downbeat, so at least we were singing together. By the end of the song most people were somewhat close to the same key.
The noise that was supposed to be a song reminded me of a problem in a first-century church. They couldn’t agree on their leader. Some followed Paul; others Apollos (1 Cor. 3:4). The result was conflict and division (v.3). Instead of music, they were making noise. When people don’t agree on a leader, they all “sing” (I’m speaking metaphorically here) at the pace and pitch most comfortable for them.
To make beautiful music that will attract unbelievers to Jesus, all believers must follow the same leader, and that leader must be Christ.
Lord, give us wisdom. We know it’s good to follow
the example of our godly leaders, but help us not to
think so highly of them that we worship them
instead of You. Amen.
Keeping in tune with Christ keeps harmony in the church.

In the dessert =)
In the Desert
Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.
Matthew 4:1
There is no victory without a struggle. There is no breakthrough without opposition. There is no God’s way without the devil’s alternatives. It was the Spirit who led Jesus into the desert to be tested for forty days. Moses spent forty years in the desert for having murdered an Egyptian. Not until then was he mature and ready for his task.
Jesus fasted and prayed for forty days. Then Satan came forth. He came when Jesus was at His weakest. The Bible says Satan came when Jesus was hungry. To be hungry means to be weakened to the point of starvation. Yet His Spirit was strong. Jesus was tempted in spirit, soul and body. The first temptation concerned food—“Command these stones to become bread.” This was the temptation of the physical body. The second temptation concerned the will—“Throw Yourself down from the pinnacle of the temple.” This was the temptation of the soul, the temptation to take the easy way out, to work out a strategy without involving God and to stiff-necked yet claim to follow God. The third temptation concerned inner loyalty—the temptation of the spirit, the heart, to stop living for God, to swap lords along the way and to compromise in order to gain power and influence. On each of these occasions, Jesus answered Satan with a Bible verse. The only begotten Son of God responded to Satan by quoting Scripture. And Satan backed off.
There is an enormous power in the Word of God. If Jesus Himself used it, we, too, must use it. Jesus was filled with God’s Word, and whenever it was needed, the Word sprang up from His inner man. God’s Word is the sword of the Spirit, and a sword is necessary to fight off the attacks of Satan. Where Adam failed, Jesus succeeded. Where Jesus succeeded, you, too, can succeed because you are in Him and His victory is for you. The way through the desert is not the way of defeat but a journey of trials, which results in your becoming stronger than ever before. Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit.
PRAYER
Thank You, God, that You are in every desert and that Your grace is sufficient in every wilderness. In You I have everything I need, and Your weapons enable me to ward off every attack of the enemy. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

God - the eternal one
God—the Eternal One
Then Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba, and there called on the name of the Lord, the Everlasting God.
Genesis 21:33
Eternity has always fascinated people. We instinctively know that we are created to live eternally. No one wants to die. No one wants to disappear. No one wants to be insignificant. No one wants to think of himself as a mere coincidence, a purposeless, trivial being or an animal without a soul. We know that we are created for something more, something higher. God created us in His image. He placed in each of us abilities, characteristics and qualities that long to be expressed.
The Creator placed His creative genius in us. But even more so, He created us for all eternity. He, the Eternal One, created us to live and have fellowship with Him, eternally. Every person has a deep need for fellowship. People’s endless search for relationships proves this time and time again. In its deepest sense, this longing for relationship is a need for God. Jesus says in John 17:3, “And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.” Eternal life is not merely an endless time period but a quality of life, a deep, intimate relationship with the Eternal One. Jesus calls this abundant life.
This abundant life, or ‘zoe’, only comes from the Eternal One. From Him life flows into us when we receive Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord. This eternal, abundant life comes from the Spirit of God who comes to dwell in our inner man when we are born again. The born again experience ushers us into supernatural fellowship, an abundant life, that endures past death and throughout all eternity. It endures forever. It is for this we have been created, and if we miss this, we miss everything, no matter what great things we might accomplish in this life. Eternity is the perpetual, eternal beginning that never ends but only increases in glory.
PRAYER
God, I praise You that I will spend all eternity with You. Let me help as many others as possible to spend eternity with you. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
